TLDR
The role of sleep in altering reactivity to emotional stimuli has been highly varied, with significant findings in opposite directions as discussed by the authors, with sleep interventions that could help make sure that memories of negative emotional experiences are processed in the most adaptive manner possible.Abstract:
It is important to examine what effect sleep has after an emotional experience. More knowledge about this topic could help inform us whether there are any potential sleep interventions that could help make sure that memories of negative emotional experiences are processed in the most adaptive manner possible. Findings on the role of sleep in altering reactivity to emotional stimuli have been highly varied, with significant findings in opposite directions. A new exciting development in the field is several studies finding that sleep seems to make memories of negative experiences less intrusive. This review has mainly aimed to give an overview of the field, and of which issues need to be resolved. We argue for there being a strong need for standardization of how data are analyzed and presented, as well as for better methods for determining to what extent the effects of sleep are specific for a particular memory, or represent general changes in emotional reactivity.read more

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of specific brain neurotransmitter mechanisms, such as the adenosinergic receptor system, on anxiety, arousal, and sleep was discussed, and the benefits of sleep on these brain networks were discussed.

Sleep’s role in updating aversive autobiographical memories
Yasmine Soraya Azza,Frank H. Wilhelm,Erich Seifritz,Klaus Junghanns,Birgit Kleim,Ines Wilhelm +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated whether a 90-min nap compared to wake supports the adaptive reconsolidation of autobiographical memories and found that the nap group showed less distressing dysfunctional cognitions along with a lower HR in response to the negative memory script as compared to the wake group at post 1.

Sleep well, mind wander less: A systematic review of the relationship between sleep outcomes and spontaneous cognition
TL;DR: In this paper , the relationship between sleep and spontaneous cognition was examined across different definitions and measurements of sleep outcomes, and a diversity of methodologies, and the results indicated that self-reported disturbed sleep was associated with a tendency to engage in disruptive mind wandering and daydreaming.

Sleep's short-term memory preservation and long-term affect depotentiation effect in emotional memory consolidation: behavioral and EEG evidence.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed behavioral and electrophysiological measures to investigate the short and long-term impacts of sleep vs. sleep deprivation on emotional memory and subjective affective ratings in 12- and 60-hour post-encoding tests, with EEGs in the delayed test.

The influence of sleep on fear extinction in trauma-related disorders
TL;DR: In this paper , sleep disruption may contribute to the etiology of PTSD by interfering with consolidation in low-level emotion-regulatory memory systems, such as fear extinction, safety learning and habituation.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis provides evidence that insomnia increases the risk for psychopathology and calls for more prospective long-term interventional studies investigating the efficacy of insomnia treatment for the prevention of mental disorders.

Sleep and emotion regulation: An organizing, integrative review
Cara A. Palmer,Candice A. Alfano +1 more
TL;DR: The current review utilizes the process model of emotion regulation as an organizing framework for examining the impact of sleep upon various aspects of emotional experiences and calls for experimental research designed to clearly explicate which points in the emotion regulation process appear most vulnerable to sleep loss.

TL;DR: This review synthesizes some of the most current empirical findings with regard to the effects of sleep (with an emphasis on sleep deprivation) on subsequent emotional state, and the effects on subsequent sleep of possible mechanisms underlying some of these associations.

REM sleep dysregulation in depression: State of the art
TL;DR: It is hypothesize on the one hand that REM sleep dysregulation in depression may be linked to a genetic predisposition/vulnerability to develop the illness; on the other hand it is conceivable thatREM sleep disinhibition in itself is a part of a maladaptive stress reaction with increased allostatic load.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis indicates that insomnia is significantly associated with an increased risk of depression, which has implications for the prevention of depression in non-depressed individuals with insomnia symptoms.
